[labnetwork] Gas cabinet installation by contractors or facility

[Joseph Losby]

Dear Labnetwork,

We are currently in the design development phase of constructing a cleanroom facility.  The intention is to have about 40-50% of the cleanroom unused on opening day that is reserved for future tools.  Although we have scoped out what future equipment we wish to acquire, they are not finalized.

Our contractors wish to install the gas cabinets (they are included in the project budget) for both the currently scoped and future tools.  Because the cabinet configurations are equipment dependent (most will be for RIE and CVD/dep tools), we are trying to decide if it's worth the contractors installing 'generic' cabinets for future tools that we can configure ourselves (install gas monitoring, safety showers, etc).

Do you feel this is a feasible approach and if so, what would you install? Or, would you rather install the cabinets yourselves entirely?

Cheers,
Joe
